@ sbennett1989 - Congrats on your 1st cycle brother, and welcome to the wonderful world of AAS. In regards to your question(s) - P.I.P. or post injection pain, usually lasts 2-4 days. severity of the pain depends on the compound. I ran test e @ around 600mg split into 2 injections weekly of 300ml with VERY little pip. Maybe a little soreness, but not too bad. I ran prop @100ml every other day, and OUCH! I never felt even close to that from the test e. I am assuming since this is your 1st cycle, that you are either pinning test e or test cyp. Over the course of your cycle, your muscles will become somewhat used to the injections - (less pip) and you might even enjoy them, I did. = ) To help with pip, you can warm your oils. ( take the vial, and run it under lukewarm water.. just be careful you don't run it overtop of the rubber stopper. Just hold it in your hand, and keep the water running on the lower portion of the vial where the oil is. this will HELP with pip . Or you can load up your syringe pop the cap on the pin, and just run warm water over your already loaded syringe - this works too! If this wasn't your first time, I wouldn't bother to say this, but I saw that it is so here goes - As to the blood coming out after injection.. Just make sure that you aspirate bro.. Before each inection!! Last thing you wanna do is mainline some gear, or air. There are videos, websites that show proper techniques and injection sites out there for you to refer to.(MSG ME i WILL REFER YOU TO A COUPLE GOOD ONES) - Just make sure you aspirate, and there is NO blood in the syringe when you aspirate.. that happened to me for the very first time last week when pinning my quad, and I have to admit scared me a little bit. I pulled back and saw blood enter the syringe, and freaked out a little, as this is week 13 of my cycle, and I have NEVER hit a vein previously. Just know that it is possible to hit one, and that aspiration is VERY IMPORTANT, DON'T SKIP IT.. If you have any questions I would be happy to help you out brother, as I was in your shoes not too long ago. Happy CYCLING BRO - DON'T FORGET YOUR P.C.T. ENJOYYY!!! = )

My PIP usually doesn't really kick in for at least a day, usually after I've slept and I'm stiff for a bit. Afterwards, it's usually 3 days of a slight stiffness. It's really not too bad unless I have to put pressure on my quad, which is what I pin.

Anytime up to a week depending on what you injected / how you did it etc but it's always worse for the first cycle, your body just isn't used to it.
